A theme park based on the adventures of the popular children’s character Thomas the Tank Engine is to begin construction at Edaville USA Railroad in Carver, Mass., The Associated Press reported. The park, called Thomas Land, will have 14 rides inspired by characters in the British television show “Thomas & Friends,” which is broadcast on PBS in the United States. A 20-minute train ride on a life-size Thomas the Tank Engine is to be the park’s centerpiece when it opens in the summer of 2015.
